what can i say Abu Dhabi does it again
i love the way they just realised that we cant just do skycrapers like Dubai did and be special. we need to hawe the edge and do a mind Blowing design every time. Capital gate and Aldar headquarters are very good examples of this. wicked design its a Fantastic new take on the Turning torso design u can hawe public park on this also spanning several stories with stairs in between. only problem really is the thin core meaning that certain things like water and sewage must be laid under the out rigged parts of the building. while the elevator and stair occupy all of the midsection And with Abu Dhabi`s big expansion plans and need to make an unique mark this might very well get pulled through. And money and regulations aint exactly a problem neither. here is a link to the leaning capital Gate project wich Abu dhabi Pulled off recently http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=182325 |
Hmmm, whatever rocks their boat I suppose...
|
This design would only work out in warm climates, and with less hurricanes and stuff too.
|
that just looks....bad....
|
Imagine living in one of those when a F5 tornado, or hurricane stops by.
|
neat idea, but i wonder how the structure works against earthquakes. doesn't look like the sturdiest design.
|
Don't think there are any earthquakes or hurricanes in UAE.
|
^ of course :haha: i was just thinking if such design could work here in the bay area. (like that would ever happen)
in abu dhabi, this kind of innovative design would work well. i actually think this could look really cool, i really like the idea that every floor has a terrace. i think its going to be important how the core and the "underside" of the floors look from below - the renderings just show blank white surfaces. i think they need to add some 'texture' there, maybe with glass. a spire might be nice too. overall a great design. |
Looks cool in detailing, stupid in execution. It's a very static structure, and... just a big ol' staircase. Stagger those floors in a more dynamic pattern and I'd love that structure.

This thing is stupid. There's obviously only one elevator, so that in itself makes this thing crap.
Good thing that first rendering isn't reality. That would be verrry bad for NY. |
Who on Satan's green earth would build something this ugly?
